Heheeeee! This is my entry into a contest that :iconnight-elves-unite: is having called 21st century Night Elf. Here we have a high powered Lunaire checking out something VERY important on her iPhone.

This is a tribute to Norman Rockwell and his Saturday Evening Post covers. He is a famous North American Painter that did covers for the Post magazine among other things. I have always been a HUGE fan of his and his amazing paintings. He had the ability to tell a whole story in one illustration, something that I aspire to do someday.

Ok so reasoning behind all the stoof in this pic. Lunaire is a representation of my boyfriend :iconvarten: He has those glasses and has an iPhone. He loves everything Japanese thus the chopsticks in her hair and he is a computer programmer.

And the katana...is because when you are a Rogue, even a successful business Rogue, you just can't let it go.

Also an homage to Cake and the song Short Skirt Long Jacket. Only Lunaire uses a katana to cut through red tape XD

Prize Crit/Comment.

Really love how you've charactured the idea of a night elf. I am loving the ears that instantly attract you to the character and show her race. I am really enjoying her formal business work clothes and the fact she's drinking a martini while probably tweeting about it on her iPhone. Really also love the collection of accessories including the laptop and glasses to really bring her upto speed. Over all love the hair too and the whole piece is really well done and would be a fantastic poster for a "modern women" type of campaign in the elf world. So well done you.

The only think I can really nitpick about would be the shine/shade. I feel more glare on her glasses, more shine on her hair etc

It's just some throughts that's all :) and you're most welcome!! I hope it helps but don't think about it too much or you'll end up like me... I can't work due to trying to please too many people and now the love and passion I had has gone. Regardless. Love the work it's wonderful!
